.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 222 AM CDT Thu Aug 28 2025

Models show an upper level trof passing over the region today.
The last several NBM solutions had been trending farther west
with today`s precipitation chances, and as expected, the eastern
edge of any shower activity will now just skirt far western
portions of the PAH forecast area mainly this afternoon. We will
see an increase in clouds across our entire area, and this will
help keep temperatures below normal today in the upper 70s to
lower 80s.

Dry conditions can be then expected tonight through Monday
morning. By Monday afternoon the NBM brings some low chances of
showers and storms into the Pennyrile region of west Kentucky.
These chances spread across the entire PAH forecast area
Tuesday as low level moisture begins to increase and better
northwest flow aloft develops. By mid week, models show a cold
front approaching from the northwest, bringing increasing
chances of showers and storms to our region Wednesday. Although
overall timing is still in question, it does look like we will
see a more active pattern next week.

Temperatures will continue to be below normal on into next week,
although highs both Friday and Saturday will be a little warmer
with readings just 2 to 3 degrees below normal. Humidity will
remain low through Labor Day with dew points mostly in the 50s,
keeping conditions quite comfortable. Dew points will creep
upward Tuesday and especially Wednesday ahead of our next
weather system.
